Abstract

The INDO/1 semi-empirical molecular orbital model is employed to analyze the reaction between olefins and cis- and trans-Ru(VI)-dioxo complexes. Interesting differences in the reactivity of these seemingly similar complexes toward olefins exist. For the cis-Ru VI O 2 system, products formed from the cleavage of the C=C double bond are obtained. The trans isomer is selective for epoxidations. Three distinct pathways for interaction between the cis-RuO 2 complex and ethylene were considered
